Judging from the title, you might think this update is about Watchtower enhancements or properly formatting credit card numbers, but you would be only half right! 1Password 5.1 for Mac, rolling out now to the the AgileBits Store and Mac App Store, is all about sync.

In short, we completely overhauled how you manage sync for your primary and secondary vaults to save you time. In Preferences > Sync, you can now view all your vaults and how they sync, and change sync methods with a click.

Wi-Fi Sync users also get a whole new Preferences pane that makes setup much easier. Oh, and secondary vaults can now sync via Wi-Fi!

We packed lots of other great changes into v5.1 for Mac, from copying addresses in Identities with just a click to support for Portuguese. You can view the full changelog for all the details.

1Password 5.1 for Mac is a free update available now for all v5 owners. If you’re a Mac App Store customer, please leave us a great rating and review, they really help!

We have a great support document that explains step-by-step how to create and share a new vault, but here are the cliff notes:

Create a new vault (1Password > New Vault…)

Customize its icon, color, and Master Password (you can even use photos from your Mac!)

Copy some items to this new secondary vault (select any item, click the sharing arrow and choose your new vault as the destination)

Place the vault in a shared Dropbox folder or other location (1Password > Preferences > Sync)

Have your family members or coworkers use 1Password 4 for Mac to add your new vault

Enjoy 1Password’s new Shared Vault awesomeness

Our new Multiple Vaults feature is Mac-only for now, emphasis on for now. But we think it’s the best way to collaborate with family and coworkers yet conveniently use strong, unique passwords to protect all your sites, apps, and devices.
